Who wants a Santa-free Christmas
A group of German Catholics are asking for the impossible, but still something fun to talk about... they want Santa to stay put this year. Take a year off, Santa. Do some things around the house while the rest of us give the "gift of happiness" this Christmas.
For some reason, this organization of Catholics (The Bonifatiuswerk of German Catholics) believe Christmas has become too commercial.
WHAT? Are they insane? Just because we're beating each other over the head for the last Zhu Zhu Pet, doesn't mean we've forgotten about the meaning of Christmas! It also means HUGE DEALS ON TV'S!

Come to think of it...maybe they have a point. What do you think? Is it really possible to go without giving a single gift for Christmas? source

POST THIS TO YOUR BLOG
Forbes magazine released their list of the world's most powerful women, and we have a new #1 -- Michelle Obama! Forbes put her at the top of the list because "she has made the office of first lady her own." They site her political campaign appearances and her Let's Move! campaign which fights childhood obesity. Here are the top five most powerful women:
#1 Michelle Obama
#2 Irene Rosenfield (Kraft Foods Chief Executive)
#3 Oprah
#4 Angela Merkel (German Chancellor)
#5 Hillary Clinton (Secretary of State)
BTW: Lady Gaga is #7. Forbes called her the woman that "single-handedly reinvigorated pop music and pop culture." Beyonce is #9, Ellen DeGeneres is 10th, Angelina Jolie is 21st and Madonna is 29th.
Forbes changed the way it ranked the finalist this year relying more on influence and entrepreneurship than wealth.

Deadline.com reports Piers Morgan will bring "significant" format changes to Larry King's old show once he takes over. He not only promises big changes, but he also plans on beating his major rival, Fox News: "The main message I want to communicate is that I intend this show to be a game-changer in terms of how interview shows are conducted on American TV. And I haven't joined CNN to come 2nd, 3rd, or 4th."
Yawn. Julianne Hough tells ET's Samantha Harris that her European trip with Ryan Seacrest wasn't about getting engaged, but more about "eating, eating and eating." The rumors were heavy that Ryan dropped the question on a private yacht. Nope. Hough is now filming "Footloose" which should be out in April of 2011. source
Speaking of Ryan, he says that Randy Jackson has assumed the roll of Simon Cowell on American Idol. Not only is Randy sitting in Simon's old seat, but Ryan says 'the dawg' is the "first one to shut it down the most.... he's definitely not wishy washy." source

Ever wonder what your husband does when he gets together with his friends? This...
DID YOU KNOW
The argument is over:
"Nearly one in three who bought a smartphone in the past six months snapped up an Android handset, according to a new survey from Nielsen, leaving the iPhone and BlackBerry handsets to battle it out for second place."
But... will it all that change because of THIS?
WHO SAID IT?
"I choose projects I can talk about for days because now you do publicity for as long as it took you to shoot the movie."

JOKE OF THE DAY
A farmer with a prize sow makes an agreement with a neighboring farmer, who owns a prize boar, to mate the animals and share the piglets after they're born.
Every morning the farmer loads the sow onto a wheelbarrow and hauls her over to the other farm, waits for the boar to do his thing, and then hauls her back home, expecting a litter of piglets the next day.
This goes on for some time and the farmer is getting discouraged. One particular morning he calls down to his wife: "Bessie, is that dang sow pregnant yet?"
His wife called back: "No, but she's sitting in the wheelbarrow waiting for ya."

- Congrats to Bobby Cleveland who is now the world's fastest man...on a lawn mower. He hit 96 miles per hour at Bonneville Salt Flats on September 25th. I would love to try for that record one day, but my mower is all tied up doing useless tasks like MOWING THE LAWN! Video here
- A Montreal man was fined $1-billion for spamming users of Facebook. Adam Guerbuez tricked users into giving him their usernames and passwords, which he then used promote marijuana, erectile dysfunction and "body enlargement" products. Let's face it - he's bankrupt. Nobody's getting $1-billion. So let's just ship him to the island of misfit spammers. Which is in the same region as the island of misfit guys who take up two parking spots. source
- A new study found that speed cameras have not only reduced the number of speeders, but have also reduced fatal or serious injury crashes by up to 44% in some areas. Sounds great, but I only have one problem with speed cameras -- I like to drive really, really fast. It just wouldn't be a good relationship. source
